I got to the garden at about 9:30 to find Molly taking down the cherry tomatoes plants in the enclosed tomato patch. She told us the cover crop Deb and Claudia planted has sprouted since the rain.  Ron was working on improving the fence by the tool shed.  Kathy was harvesting tomatoes, eggplants, squash, melons, and beans. The garden is slowing down but we still had a table full of fresh produce.  Debbie finished preparing another plot for garlic.  I helped her put the garlic in, and we covered the plot for harvest next June.  Patricia helped with harvesting.  Jeany helped Molly with the tomato patch and worked at getting the invasive grass out of the northwest corner of the garden.  Geri came and harvested in the greenhouse and worked her magic on the lettuce, spinach, radish, and kale beds, filling in bare spaces with more seeds.  Because the garden got about an inch of rain in the past few days we didn’t have to water.  Rosemary came by again and hopefully we will see her here next year.  Joyce, hope you had a great time. See you Wednesday.   –Update by Suzanne Taylor
